Fool The Eye: Tips for Tiny Bedrooms

Everything counts in a tiny bedroom!

Use mirrors. Mirrors reflect light and make a room feel and look more spacious. A reflecting wall makes a room look twice as large.

Brighten the walls. Paint a small room in a light and airy shade. Use crisp white linens and accessories. The bedding will become the main focal point of the room. You can use dark colors for crown moldings or chair rails.

Store in creative ways. Add a bookcase behind the bed or storage bins underneath the bed.

Don't clutter the bedroom with furniture. Make the bed the main focal point in the room - a singular space with sleeping as the main purpose. Too many furniture pieces can clutter a space.

Illuminate a room. Use wall mounted lamps, add a beautiful chandelier and fun lamps on each nightstand. Make sure to open the curtains, allowing for ample light to flood into the room.
